00:00I joined all Nigerians who have expressed a lot of concern about what is happening to

00:09fellow Nigerians in South Africa, and we all know that there are so many Nigerians in South

00:14Africa. It has become a yearly or perennial issue. I believe that last year or two years

00:20ago we have such attacks on Nigerians in particular. I think that the South African government

00:26has a one-horse responsibility, more than any other institution in this matter, to bring

00:34the matter to a close. Some of the videos that I saw, people in their thousands destroying

00:41their shops, there was no sign of the police. So I think that first and foremost, South Africans,

00:48and the South African government in particular, must check their people. Now that the Nigerian

00:54government has activated, you know, a system to evacuate Nigerians who are willing to leave

00:59that place, that system also should be sustained. The governments of the two countries must come

01:04together to do something to prevent this kind of protest that is violating everybody, you

01:13know, in terms of their physique, in terms of their human rights.
